“You’re asking for death!”
The middle-aged man snorted and threw a punch at Jiang Yi.
Jiang Yi easily dodged the middle-aged man’s attack.
Simultaneously, his fist landed directly on the middle-aged man’s face.
One of the middle-aged man’s front teeth was knocked out and fell to the ground.
After spinning around, it landed in front of the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man was utterly enraged and lunged at Jiang Yi like a wild beast.
Just then, a car suddenly drove over and stopped in the middle.
When the middle-aged man saw the car, he froze!
Before the middle-aged man could recover, the car door opened.
A figure jumped out and slapped the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man dared not retaliate.
The newcomer was none other than Huang Mao!
“You’ve got some nerve! Daring to lay hands on Mr. Jiang!”
After scolding, Huang Mao asked angrily, “Speak, what exactly happened?”
The middle-aged man’s face was filled with fear. He dared not lie and confessed everything about extorting Ye’s father.
After listening, Huang Mao kicked the middle-aged man again.
“Mr. Jiang, this is one of my subordinates. If you say the word, I’ll kill him right now,” Huang Mao said to Jiang Yi with utmost respect.
Jiang Yi remained silent and turned his gaze to Ye’s father.
This matter had to be decided by Ye’s father.
The middle-aged man hurried over and apologized to Ye’s father.
“I’m sorry, it was my fault. I shouldn’t have extorted you. Please, give me another chance.”
“Since you’ve apologized, then let it go!”
Ye’s father didn’t want to escalate the matter and said to the middle-aged man, “Don’t do such wicked things in the future. You’re lucky to have met me. If you had met someone else, you’d be in big trouble!”
“I’ll never dare to do it again!” the middle-aged man said hastily.
“As long as you know your mistakes and correct them, that’s good!” Ye’s father said.
“Mmm!” the middle-aged man nodded quickly.
The father-in-law began to lecture the middle-aged man incessantly, speaking all sorts of platitudes.
The middle-aged man could only keep nodding.
Seeing the middle-aged man’s state, he was close to breaking down!
Five minutes later, the father-in-law was still lecturing.
This made the middle-aged man unable to bear it, his expression cracking.
But he dared not leave, so he could only continue listening.
The middle-aged man probably wished he could die at this point.
Even Huang Mao, standing nearby, was dumbfounded!
“Mr. Jiang, your friend’s eloquence is truly amazing. I’m very impressed,” Huang Mao whispered to Jiang Yi.
“He’s not my friend, he’s my former father-in-law,” Jiang Yi said with a slight smile.
He had already experienced his father-in-law’s eloquence in the past.
His lectures could go on for three days and three nights without end.
It was the middle-aged man’s misfortune to have provoked Ye’s father.
Huang Mao chuckled when he heard that Ye’s father was Jiang Yi’s former father-in-law.
“Mr. Jiang, I was just about to look for Miss Dongfang. I wanted to discuss some cooperation matters with her. Do you know if she has time?” Huang Mao asked Jiang Yi.
“You can ask Dongfang Mei yourself. I don’t know!”
Jiang Yi didn’t waste any more words, got into the car, and drove away.
Ye’s father was busy, so Jiang Yi didn’t want to disturb him.
Returning to the villa, Jiang Yi parked the car.
As soon as he got out of the car, he saw Ye Yanran also getting out of hers.
Ye Yanran was wearing a professional suit and carrying some documents.
Her beautiful face held a trace of worry, but she still gave off an aura of being unapproachable, just as before.
The two villas were only a few meters apart, making it difficult not to encounter Ye Yanran.
Jiang Yi averted his gaze and prepared to enter the villa.
Ye Yanran watched Jiang Yi’s back, wanting to speak, but swallowed her words.
“Jiang Yi…”
Ye Yanran finally called out.
Hearing Ye Yanran’s voice, Jiang Yi stopped.
“I’m sorry, I didn’t notice you just now. Is something wrong?” Jiang Yi said with a smile.
Ye Yanran knew Jiang Yi was lying.
She had seen Jiang Yi just now, and he must have seen her.
This made Ye Yanran feel a little disappointed.
Jiang Yi completely treated her as a stranger.
But who could she blame? She could only blame herself for abandoning Jiang Yi back then.
“Do you have time? I’d like to invite you to dinner!” Ye Yanran said.
“Hmm?”
Jiang Yi didn’t react immediately.
Ye Yanran taking the initiative to invite Jiang Yi to dinner surprised him.
From when they met until they got married, and even up to now, Ye Yanran had never initiated inviting him to dinner more than three times.
It wasn’t just about meals; Ye Yanran wasn’t this proactive in other matters either.
“If you don’t have time, then maybe another time!”
Ye Yanran showed a smile on her face.
“Okay, then another time!”
Jiang Yi shrugged. “I’ll be going now.”
With that, Jiang Yi walked straight into the villa.
Ye Yanran stood in place, took a deep breath, and then returned to her villa.
As soon as she entered the courtyard, she found Ye’s mother and Ye Xiaofeng hiding in the yard and peeking.
“Yanran, don’t be discouraged. Jiang Yi might really have something urgent, which is why he refused your invitation. When he’s free, you can try again,” Ye’s mother said.
“Sister, Mom’s right. Don’t be too discouraged,” Ye Xiaofeng also chimed in to comfort her.
Hearing this, Ye Yanran’s brows furrowed.
She had finally mustered the courage to invite Jiang Yi to dinner, only to be rejected, and to have her mother and Ye Xiaofeng eavesdropping.
Ye Yanran ignored them and walked directly to the living room.
“Why is Sister acting so cold towards us? We were trying to comfort her kindly, and she’s not even grateful,” Ye Xiaofeng snorted.
“Your sister, that’s just her personality!”
Ye’s mother said, “She’s a proud person. She’d definitely be unhappy if she knew we were eavesdropping, and she’d lose face.”
“If she’s too proud to save face, how can she reconcile with her brother-in-law?” Ye Xiaofeng lamented.
“We have to help her with this! I’ll put my reputation on the line to make Jiang Yi our Ye family’s son-in-law.”
Ye’s mother made up her mind.
Ye Xiaofeng remained silent.
In Ye Xiaofeng’s opinion, reconciliation depended on Ye Yanran and Jiang Yi themselves. No matter how much others fussed, it wouldn’t make a difference.
Meanwhile, after returning to the villa, Jiang Yi took out the list of assassins from the killer organization in Jiang Province and reviewed it.
The list contained quite a few assassins, over a hundred people.
It would be difficult to resolve all these assassins in a short period.
Relying on Chen Kun alone was simply not enough.
He needed to find another person.
Soon, Jiang Yi had two very suitable candidates.
One was Yingzi. Yingzi was skilled and had undergone rigorous training, making her very suitable to help him deal with those assassins.
There was also another person, Shen Lu.
Shen Lu was originally a killer and knew the killer organization like the back of her hand.
Having her deal with those assassins would be the best option.
However, Shen Lu’s skills were still not strong enough.
